Griffin to offer free screenings at Oxford car show

OXFORD - Griffin Hospital will provide free prostate-specific antigen tests and A1C diabetes tests at the Oxford Center Fire House Car Show Saturday.

Sponsored by the Health Initiative for Men (HiM), and Griffin’s Community Outreach Program, the tests will be conducted on the hospital’s Mobile Health Resource Van along with free blood pressure screenings.

PSA is a protein produced by cells of the prostate gland. Healthcare workers on the van will take a small blood sample from participants which will be sent to a laboratory to be measure the level of PSA in the blood. A high PSA level could be an indication of prostate cancer.

The A1C test is a common blood test used to diagnose type 1 and type 2 diabetes by gauging average blood sugar levels for the past two months. The higher the A1C level, the poorer the blood sugar control and the higher the risk of diabetes complications.

With the leadership and generosity of Ansonia businessman Frank Michaud, partner with Michaud and Accavallo, CPAs, LLC in Ansonia, and his wife, Judy, Griffin Hospital launched HiM in 2011 to help inspire men to have an annual physical and raise awareness about men's health issues, such as prostate cancer and colorectal cancer.
For information about HiM, visit www.griffinhealth.org/him.

The Oxford Center Fire House Car Show will be held from 3-8 p.m. Saturday at the Oxford Center Fire House, 484 Oxford Center Road.

Car show at Derby doughnut shop stocks Shelton food bank

DERBY - My husband and I took in a car show Sunday at Heav'nly Donuts on Route 34.

Fortunately for the organizers it was a sunny afternoon.

The event helped to stock the shelves at the Valley Food Bank at Spooner House homeless shelter in Shelton. 

We were happy to make our small donation to such a worthy cause.

It appears a lot of people turned out and gave what they could.

The customized wood-paneled Crosley station wagon was complete with a smiling Woody Woodpecker.

Let's hope it was filled with food when the event was over. 

Here's another diminutive Crosley station wagon. Funky, isn't it?

This '55 Ford Fairlane sedan caught my eye...

 

as did this bright blue Crosley. This can't be the original color!

I'm looking forward to some more warm-weather car shows in the Valley. Are you?
